For my personal creative project, I chose to compose a track for a short clip I found on YouTube from a 1992 Romanian film called Balanta (The Oak), one of the best pieces of Romanian cinema in my humble opinion. Directed by Lucian Pintilie and boasting an amazing cast, with Maia Morgenstern and Razvan Vasilescu in the main roles, Balanta was among many critically acclaimed films that came out of Romania after the fall of the communist regime. It received quite a few awards and nominations, with Maia Morgenstern winning European Actress of the Year at the 1993 European Fim Awards. An amazing film overall.
